The piperazine carbamates are prepared by the general synthetic routesdescribed below in Schemes 1-3.

A method for preparing compounds of formula D is provided in Scheme 1.Reductive amination of an aldehyde of formula A with Boc-protectedpiperazine, using an agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride, affordsintermediate B. Following Boc-group removal with an acid such astrifluoroacetic acid or HCl, intermediate C is coupled withhexafluoropropan-2-yl chloroformate to provide a piperazine carbamate offormula D. In some embodiments, intermediate B undergoes one or moreadditional reactions to alter R¹ and/or R² prior to Boc-group removal.

Another method for preparing compounds of formula D is provided inScheme 2. Boc-protected piperazine is coupled with hexafluoropropan-2-ylchloroformate to provide carbamate intermediate E. Removal of the Bocgroup with an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid or HCl, affordsintermediate F, which subsequently undergoes a reductive amination,using an agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride, with an aldehyde offormula A to lead to a piperazine carbamate of formula D.

Another method of preparing compounds of formula D is provided in Scheme3. A compound of formula G, where X is a halogen, is coupled withcompound H under palladium-mediated conditions to provide a piperazinecarbamate of formula D.

In certain embodiments, a disclosed compound utilized by one or more ofthe foregoing methods is one of the generic, subgeneric, or specificcompounds described herein, such as a compound of Formula (I), (II),(III), or (IV). In certain embodiments, a disclosed compound utilized byone or more of the foregoing methods is one of the generic, subgeneric,or specific compounds described herein, such as a compound of Formula(I), (Ia), (II), (IIa), (III), or (IV).

Disclosed compounds are administered to patients (animals and humans) inneed of such treatment in dosages that will provide optimalpharmaceutical efficacy. It will be appreciated that the dose requiredfor use in any particular application will vary from patient to patient,not only with the particular compound or composition selected, but alsowith the route of administration, the nature of the condition beingtreated, the age and condition of the patient, concurrent medication orspecial diets then being followed by the patient, and other factors,with the appropriate dosage ultimately being at the discretion of theattendant physician. For treating clinical conditions and diseases notedabove, a contemplated compound disclosed herein is administered orally,subcutaneously, topically, parenterally, by inhalation spray or rectallyin dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxicpharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. Parenteraladministration include subcutaneous injections, intravenous orintramuscular injections or infusion techniques.

Also contemplated herein are combination therapies, for example,co-administering a disclosed compound and an additional active agent, aspart of a specific treatment regimen intended to provide the beneficialeffect from the co-action of these therapeutic agents. The beneficialeffect of the combination includes, but is not limited to,pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic co-action resulting from thecombination of therapeutic agents. Administration of these therapeuticagents in combination typically is carried out over a defined timeperiod (usually weeks, months or years depending upon the combinationselected). Combination therapy is intended to embrace administration ofmultiple therapeutic agents in a sequential manner, that is, whereineach therapeutic agent is administered at a different time, as well asadministration of these therapeutic agents, or at least two of thetherapeutic agents, in a substantially simultaneous manner.

Substantially simultaneous administration is accomplished, for example,by administering to the subject a single formulation or composition,(e.g., a tablet or capsule having a fixed ratio of each therapeuticagent or in multiple, single formulations (e.g., capsules) for each ofthe therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneousadministration of each therapeutic agent is effected by any appropriateroute including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes,intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membranetissues. The therapeutic agents are administered by the same route or bydifferent routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of thecombination selected is administered by intravenous injection while theother therapeutic agents of the combination are administered orally.Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents are administeredorally or all therapeutic agents are administered by intravenousinjection.

Combination therapy also embraces the administration of the therapeuticagents as described above in further combination with other biologicallyactive ingredients and non-drug therapies. Where the combination therapyfurther comprises a non-drug treatment, the non-drug treatment isconducted at any suitable time so long as a beneficial effect from theco-action of the combination of the therapeutic agents and non-drugtreatment is achieved. For example, in appropriate cases, the beneficialeffect is still achieved when the non-drug treatment is temporallyremoved from the administration of the therapeutic agents, perhaps bydays or even weeks.

The components of the combination are administered to a patientsimultaneously or sequentially. It will be appreciated that thecomponents are present in the same pharmaceutically acceptable carrierand, therefore, are administered simultaneously. Alternatively, theactive ingredients are present in separate pharmaceutical carriers, suchas, conventional oral dosage forms, that are administered eithersimultaneously or sequentially.

For example, e.g., for contemplated treatment of pain, a disclosedcompound is co-administered with another therapeutic for pain such as anopioid, a cannabinoid receptor (CB-1 or CB-2) modulator, a COX-2inhibitor, acetaminophen, and/or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatoryagent. Additional therapeutics e.g., for the treatment of pain that areco-administered, include morphine, codeine, hydromorphone, hydrocodone,oxymorphone, fentanyl, tramadol, and levorphanol.

Other contemplated therapeutics for co-administration include aspirin,naproxen, ibuprofen, salsalate, diflunisal, dexibuprofen, fenoprofen,ketoprofen, oxaprozin, loxoprofen, indomethacin, tolmetin, sulindac,etodolac, ketorolac, piroxicam, meloxicam, tenoxicam, droxicam,lornoxicam, celecoxib, parecoxib, rimonabant, and/or etoricoxic.

Proteomes (mouse brain membrane fraction or cell lysates) (50 μL, 1.0mg/mL total protein concentration) were preincubated with varyingconcentrations of inhibitors at 37° C. After 30 min, FP-Rh (1.0 μL, 50μM in DMSO) was added and the mixture was incubated for another 30 minat 37° C. Reactions were quenched with SDS loading buffer (50 μL-4×) andrun on SDS-PAGE. Following gel imaging, serine hydrolase activity wasdetermined by measuring fluorescent intensity of gel bands correspondingto MAGL, ABHD6 and FAAH using ImageJ 1.43u software.

Preparation of Mouse Brain Proteomes from Inhibitor Treated Mice.

Inhibitors were administered to wild-type C57Bl/6J by oral gavage in avehicle of polyethylene glycol. Each animal was sacrificed 4 h followingadministration and brain proteomes were prepared and analyzed accordingto previously established methods (See Niphakis, M. J., et al. (2011)ACS Chem. Neurosci. and Long, J. Z., et al. Nat. Chem. Biol. 5:37-44)
